Oh hey another quick question, will we be allowed to up-pot to 1 gallon at our leisure, or do we have to start in 1 gallon pots? Just wondering.
I’m ready and waiting!
I’m gonna stick to an auto for this one as it’s all I’ve grown so far. Hopefully have some experience in photos by the time the next one comes around.
Using a 4.5l air pot but I’ve moved the bottom up a couple runs so it’s just under 4 litresView attachment 2226979
There’s a chance I might have to work away a couple times over the next few months so I’ve added moisture wicking thread to the bottom so I can put it on my auto pot @Mikedin is this within the rules?View attachment 2226983View attachment 2226981View attachment 2226982
Yeah I think we’ll let that slide lol, what’s the medium gunna be?
If people are allowed to use drip systems or other irrigation, I don't see why you can't use the ACI self watering base.I’m ready and waiting!

At your leisure! That’s what my progression pics are all about is my up pot method and. How she’s looks going into flowerOh hey another quick question, will we be allowed to up-pot to 1 gallon at our leisure, or do we have to start in 1 gallon pots? Just wondering.
To me is no biggie it’s just drip systems automated etc I think is what we’re avoiding, wicking could be achieved by just overwatering with a solid saucer so adding a rope isint much of a biggie lolIf people are allowed to use drip systems or other irrigation, I don't see why you can't use the ACI self watering base.
I'm actually using the ACI bases with their 3 gallon fabric pots in my RB x Okie grow in the 55"x28"x80" tent. The bases save me a ton of time especially since they're drinking 1/2 gallon a day right now, have to fill the bases every other day.
I have an extra self watering base, I might use it also. I work 6 days a week and the amount of watering that will need done for a 1 gallon air pot, be smart to self water it.
I have no problem hand watering though if that's what is decided.
Yes we’ll set a date soon, then we can get started, it’s about to get fun I knew the month would fly bythat's still over 3.4 l
time to downsize the airpot
my seeds are on the way. 6 days on ups timeline
are we sprouting all together?
Hopefully the 3x2 I ordered from AC Infinity is here by then.Yes we’ll set a date soon, then we can get started, it’s about to get fun I knew the month would fly by

I like the pattern on 2 so that’s my pick for youI managed to locate my seed stash. Carefully stored for the past 15 or so years waiting for the right time. I guess that time is now. So I picked out 5 random seeds and I'm going to let the FarmFam decide which one to use. Just quote and post your choice 1-5.

all mix heavily fertilized. wouldn't be my choice for raising auto. just saying.... :P
Biobizz all mix with added perlite vermiculite and coco coir. The auto I’m growing says to go easy on the nutes so thought I better pack out the all mix a bit

Thanks, was going to start them in light mix then up pot into all mix at about 14 days. Do you think it will be too heavy for that age? Not used it before but that’s my plan for the 2 autos I’ve got going at the moment, so I guess they will give me an idea of how it will goall mix heavily fertilized. wouldn't be my choice for raising auto. just saying.... :P

I know it’s recommended not to up pot autos but I’ve done it before and it’s worked out ok. I find it gives better control of watering when they are young.
We decided 4.5 liters is max because 4.5 liters is 1 imperial gallon which is the system they use in Europe. We haven't seen a lot of other members pots yet and we have quite a few members from Europe so we are going to see others with 4.5 liter pots, I'm sure as well as 4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1 and even less.
I could grow in a 34 litre and I’m sure you’d still wipe the floor with me!
But I’m happy to go up another level in the interest of a fair game
They had that big internet fuck up as well, I had packages that said lost or running late due to 3rd party technical issues etc, they ended up arriving late, hopefully you’ll be back in buisnesss. I’m thinking it’ll be around the end of the first week of august, most should be ready or close enough that a random seedling won’t affect plant count for a week or so etcHopefully the 3x2 I ordered from AC Infinity is here by then.
9 days with no tracking updates, emailed support and they said it is lost and they will send another.
It was during the prime day sale so I'm sure it was crazy between them and the shipping company.
